Kildangan, Co. Kildare

Kildangan is a village in County Kildare in Ireland. During the Anglo-Norman settlement of Ireland, Maurice Fitzgerald of Allen built a castle as part of a defensive line, stretching along the River Barrow from Carlow to Lea Castle near Portarlington. Near the castle the church was built that gave the locality its name.The above text is an extract from a recent revision of the Wikipedia article Kildangan, which is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share-Alike License 3.0
